 Good for what it was November 4, 2006
Ryan Moran (Troy, Montana)
I thought this book had an interesting plot line. The story was interesting and you felt for the characters. The only problem I had with it was that I am in ninth grade, I just finished reading it for school, and the reading level is definitely for a younger person, the language seemed basic and it is very simple. However, it is easy to understand and you did not get lost in pages and pages of description about one dress or facial expression. I thought the chracters were well developed in spite of the short length of the story. br /I recommend this book for younger kids, or people who like a quick easy read.

The Apprentice is a wonderful and breath-taking book. Arduino wanted to be an artist and not a tailor. His father granted his wish and sent him to be an apprentice to Cosimo di Forli, a famous artist. But one night, Arduino found out a terrible crime that his master had committed and what he was hiding in his attic. Would Arduino give up his dream of being an artist and reveal the terrible secret? Read and you will find out. pI am surprised that this book only has two reviews so far. It deserves many more.

A well-written Renaissance story. August 11, 1998
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The Apprentice is a truly wonderful, well-written book. The story is about a boy in Renaissance Italy who decides to quit his family buisness and become a painter. He goes through many ordeals and mistreatments as an apprentice, and has an unjust master. There is also a mysterious attic that the other apprentices say noises have come from, and cannot be discussed in front of the master. If you like historical fiction and books about freedom, this book is for you.
